Description: | Cast Cu alloy trader token from 1667.
This token is complete and in fairly good condition as the detail can be seen well.
Obverse inscription- ROBERT GIBSON
Obverse description- Coat of arms containing 6 possible animal heads above an upwards facing chevron with 3 of the same below.
The obverse inscription refers to the trader whose token this was and the coat of arms would be his also.
Reverse inscription- 1667 OF RIL
Reverse description- In the centre are the words 'HIS HALF PENNY above 4 pellets in a flower shape.
The reverse description qualifies the value of the coin. RIL could be refering to the location, perhaps standing for Ireland. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1667 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frances McIntosh | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
